L.A. STAR

L.A. STAR - Fade To Black lyrics

rate me

[VERSE 1]

Ya ever wonder about the future?

Schemin and dreamin for a power booster

I'm a female, and you can see in my eyes

Tears I cry as the next man lies

There's a remedy for a help that's needed

Gun to his head and his life he pleaded

Compassion, shown none at all

Search for sundown, a body falls

Let's all join hands, you and me

A moment of silence for the departed, you see

Align, a time, cause we gotta fight

Put up your hands so we can unite

Stand strong with the unit that's tight

But young man, is it worth your life?

I flip a day, a better way

>From back in my mind, yes, my conscience say

Together, we a people as one

Bless the father and protect the son

Eternity passed everlast is the blessing

Lies revolve around a homeboy stressin

Untold, rogue, bought and sold

A mother's son in and out is growin cold

A time, a change, yes, as I reach

It takes a better man to learn, not teach

Day by day, yes, we must have each

Released your chains and set free your leash

And fade to black

Livin right 'n exact

Where the next man lack

Come on, come on, fade to black

Fade to black

Livin right 'n exact

Where the next man lack

Come on, come on, fade to black

[VERSE 2]

Well, it's a search for sundown, nowhere to be found

And you're born in a town and you gotta be down

You gotta play to pay, to make your way

Double jeopardy everyday

Because a posse in effect and they ridin with a shotgun

Don't push up till you're done

I live the life, I got the right

I know the game - now what's my name?

Kick off, I set off in a Jetta

Sell a lotta drugs, make cash, then get a

Fly car, so you can flex around

Just another way tryin to be down

Young man, do you know where you stand?

In pursuit of the promised land

Searchin for meaning or who you am

Livin fast and don't give a damn

Fade to black

Livin right 'n exact

Where the next man lack

Come on, come on, fade to black

Fade to black

Livin right 'n exact

Pickin up the slack

Come on, come on, fade to black

[VERSE 3]

Cause command is a order of direction

Love is a feeling of affection

Tryin to take, tryin got break, tryin to make

Are you real or are you just a fake?

Is it front or money you make?

Will you be found dead, thrown in a lake?

There was a young kid movin kinda fast

Start makin dollars, but could he make it last?

A Johnny Come Lately, Johnny B. Goode

New flex in your neighborhood

Get the jewerly now, put the car on hold

Roll up the ave., yes, to buy the gold

Johnny was a kid with a lotta heart

But we all knew it from the very start

Destined to be somebody

Join a big time, big town drug posse

The life he sought, yes, the ticket he bought

Five-o said, "Freeze!" homeboy was caught

Violated.. violated.. violated to the maximum

Yes, five-o came, they passed homeboy the gun

He got scared and he started to run

And a father lose, yes, his first born son

Homeboy, tell me who won?

You gotta fade to black

Because it's right 'n exact

Pickin up the slack

Where the next man lack

Dependin on your posse to have your back

They disappear, come on and fade to black

Yo, yo

Street violence is a terrible thing

1 out of 10 black men are succumbing to street violence daily

Yo, think about

Think aobut it twice

Yo, and do the right thing, god
